LONDON (Reuters) - Chelsea coach Antonio Conte had ordered his players not to lose their discipline against Arsenal on Sunday. The Brazilian defender was shown a straight red card for a wild tackle on Sead Kolasinac in the tense final minutes of the 0-0 draw at Stamford Bridge. His dismissal was the third time in five league games this season that a Chelsea player was sent off, as many as in their previous 73 games. Last season, no Chelsea player was sent off in the league. "I was a player and it can happen, this type of period and you are not so lucky to receive these red cards.
